Does the ice wall reflect only magic damage from your INT and gear? Also, is it possible to hit more than one ice wall at a time with a wizard auto attack? Kind of like psychic pressure does or maybe just 2 or 3 walls at once? What’s the recommended level to put ice wall at?
Ice wall doesn’t reflect damage. Im going to assume your referring to the shards. The damage from the shards is based off the weapon that hits it. a swordsmans sword or a cryomancers staff for example, so upgrading your weapons refine rate goes a long way on this skill.
If you use a staff melee attack yes. you can hit 3 at a time if i remember correctly.
It really depends on how many tiles you want to work with, im usually happy in the 8-9 lvl.
Alright, thanks.
I’m making a melee build based around this staff so I needed to know if cryomancer would be viable in the build to hit walls with it since this staff does magic damage and gives 200% increase to it.
Is it really tricky to hit 3 ice walls a time with the staff melee? I’m really only using ice wall for that and maybe for trapping enemies so I’m unsure on how many points is worth putting into it lol.
No its easy just line your self up with one tile of ice wall and youll hit the ones on either side. Are you going to take a rank of psych also for pressure?
I heard they nerfed that and I got a better plan for cryo that involves thaum and runecaster. I will probably only take C2 cryo at most. Also, the damage from the staff should be really good compared to psychic pressure’s damage.
many people are doing the cryo-psy-rune caster to get the damage back up. and it was nerfed but im not sure how. Also in ICBT2 the psychic pressure only triggered the hit the damage was still based on your equipped weapon. Once again im not sure how they went about nerfing it so if they normalized ice wall damage maybe weapons dont apply anymore.
The combo wasn’t really nerfed. Ice wall takes fewer hits before getting destroyed, but it’s still fine for the combo ( you just need more points in ice wall if you want to get the most out of it ). Psychic pressure actually has a lower cooldown now and takes 1% of your SP in ticks ( instead of ~4% decreasing slightly per level ), but can’t be held down forever ( can be held down for 15 seconds ).

Thanks for clearing that up.
Thanks. I think I will be going C1 cryo and linker to do the combo lol.
Rly? Did someone tested it or something? Last time I read about it ppl just said it just counts cryos matk… but I rly can’t keep up with things nowdays… X)
If the damage of the shards applies your weapon’s damage, that means the power staff’s 252 MATK + 200% of your MATK = the weapon’s damage. And that would apply to the ice wall’s shards right?
Hm, it is always based off of the cryomancer’s damage yeah. Doesn’t matter if someone else hits the icewall.

I coulda swore when my swordsman friend hit the wall the shards did more damage unless a debuff was put on the boss right before he hit the wall? But i have no videos of this, ill have to test it again when the servers open.
That’s why I asked. I rly don’t know how it’s calculated but I think that +200% won’t be included in any way.
I actually thought it rly just counts your matk so it doesn’t matter how you hit it it will make the same damage/shard but if you have higher matk staff of course you would make higher damage.
But it’s just an assumption based on what I read before… I don’t rly know. X)
I thought of some other questions as well lol. If the ice wall projectile damage is it’s own damage + your weapon MATK, will it apply on hit effects? Also, does cafrisun’s extra elemental attacks apply to the ice wall? So if you hit it, will the ice wall shoot out twice as fast/take twice as much hits until it dies?
I guess I’ll have to test it and see unless someone else knows for sure.
In this video I see that on hit from the arde applies but not its physical damage (I think).
Also, I think linker will probably be best to get the most out of the walls and without having to position yourself as much.
Just a tip, if you use Vubbe glove the +2 Aoe ratio can let you hit 4-5 walls at the same time whit good positioning.
The shards don’t count as an auto attack, so cafrisun effect won’t work.
I think you misunderstood it. The question was if you hit the wall with cafrisun… so you make 2 hits on it with 1 auto attack… will it make 2 shards or not? 
Hmm I don’t think extra attacks do anything for you ( except killing the icewall faster ). Like if you link the icewalls together, the shared damage doesn’t proc more hits, it just kills the icewall quicker.
